This laptop is simply incredible. The screen is gorgeous, the keyboard is perfect, and the trackpad is fantastic. I’ve been running Battlefield 2042 and Halo Infinite on ultra quality with full 240FPS on my 4k external monitor and this laptop handles it without a sweat. I’ve been monitoring the RAM usage in the background, since I was initially concerned about a 32GB max capacity. But this computer can keep the running the 4K game while web browsing and downloading additional games with breaking a sweat; my max RAM usage during this was 17GB, so I still had 15 left over to freely use. Unless you’re doing heavy 8k video editing while playing games on a second monitor, 32GB will work just fine.
This laptop doesn’t get terribly loud during gaming. Its fans run when playing 4K at full FPS, but any computer will do that. It’s not terribly loud as to mistaken a jet engine being outside the home. I keep the laptop propped up on a stand so its airflow is unrestricted underneath, but the laptop does come with a small rubber raised if it’s on a flat surface like a table.
I added an SSD for external storage and it accepted it without issue as well.
The amount of ports are perfect, the screen is perfect, and this computer runs great. I can see myself using this for years to come. And with previously having an ASUS, I’ve got no concerns about longevity and reliability.

Compromised, sleek gaming laptop

Some compromises here: 125w 5090 (full is 175w), soldered RAM (tho fast), 240w power supply. But what you get is a sleek gaming laptop with that you can bring with you to the library. Speakers are great and the OLED screen is a joy to look at. It does get hot between the keyboard and screen while gaming. 80 degrees C on Performance while playing Oblivion Remastered. Download G-Helper to replace Armory Crate. Is it worth another 1K for the 5090? For most people, no.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have been using this for days now and all I can say is it is a truly a beast laptop. Very professional looking for a gaming rig. Gorgeous display. It may not give the full potential of the GPU since wattage is limited though it can still handle high demand graphic games.

This laptop is very thin and light weight considering it is equiped with NVIDIA RTX 5090 with 24GB of VRAM. It comes with proprietary power adapter of 240w. But the power block is very light too. I can easily carry it around with one hand. The chassis is very sturdy and has premium feel.
It scores well with UserPerformanceBench although it is not the highest scorer despite it has intel core ultra 9 285H and RTX 5090. Nonethless it is a cery capable gaming machine. I have not tried playing any game yet. I use it mainly for LLM develpment. Its 24GB of VRAM is a gem for LLM.
The RAM is integrated on the motherboard, there is no way to upgrade after ordering. So if you need more memory, do it at purchase time. It does come with two M2 slots. The SSD on the laptop is very fast, but good enough for my work.

The 2025 ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 (GU605) is an outstanding gaming laptop. It has raw power, portability, and a premium design.
Performance
My model has th NVIDIA 5090 GPU. It handles AAA gaming without a problem. Also did 3D rendering readily.
Display
The display is a true standout — a stunning refresh rate. Colors are bright, blacks are black, and motion is clear.
Build & Design
Nice tight chassis and light considering the hardware inside. It feels like a quality build.
Thermals & Acoustics
The cooling system worked well and relatively quiet even under load, but can get noisy when really pushed.
Battery Life
The battery life is surprisingly good. Got 8 hours of light productivity. 4 on heavy gaming.
Ports & Features
Uses USB-C charging, Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, and a full-sized SD card reader, connectivity is well-rounded. The keyboard is tactile and responsive, and the large glass trackpad is smooth and accurate.
Minor Dislike
The only slight drawback is the placement and limited number of USB-A ports. Too many peripherals still use them and need dongles sometimes.
